I'm reffing at the 2016 Men's Roller Derby World Cup, in Calgary! Now, I've been working as a referee in this sport for 5 years or more, having travelled thousands of miles in the process. All over the UK & Europe working with a multitude of leagues and communities in. . . . .

I'm reffing at the 2016 Men's Roller Derby World Cup, in Calgary!

Now, I've been working as a referee in this sport for 5 years or more, having travelled thousands of miles in the process. All over the UK & Europe working with a multitude of leagues and communities in my career.Like many it's been quite a rollercoaster and there's many ups and downs. But the opportunity to make my first ever foray across the Atlantic in the name of roller derby, is one that I no longer let pass by.

So whilst, I have always managed to make my own way from one game to another, I would never have made it this far in my career without the moral support and guidance of all the amazing people I met during my years as an official. But to help my world cup dreams come true, I'm hoping that I can get some help for this huge occasion, as without league or sport funding, these goals become ever harder to keep up.

The money I raise will be to help cover the costs of getting to this event:

Whilst it pains me to ask for help, I wanted to make sure that I can do my best to thank any & everyone who is able to help me achieve my aim. So I'm offering a variety of rewards to make it more of an adventure for all of us!Some are fun, some are serious, but all are heartfelt and will hopefully be small ways to show my appreciation and pay back some of that kindness.So thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you again for all your help!

Yours,

The support and love that has been shown to me on this campaign so far has been nothing short of amazing. As a result of which, I am now 70% of the way to my target and forever thankful for everyone has helped me thus far.

As the world cup draws closer, I am edging ever nearer to my goal and hoping to reach the target in the near future. So that this roller derby dream will become a fully realised reality. I just need that little bit more support to get me over the finish line.

Hopefully I can continue to raise awareness of my fundraiser and to offer something back. As those rewards I'm offering will all be carried out with the utmost appreciation and love.

I'll continue to do what I do best, too. By continuing to put as much back into my community as I always do. After 5 years of officiating, I'm still constantly pushing to do my bit and give back, whether it's working a game, helping at bootcamps or working with the UKRDA/WFTDA/MRDA etc. and I hope to keep giving back for sometime yet, So every bit of help that I receive here, I hope I will continue to repay 10 times over in terms of my endeavour and hand work. But if that's not enough, you can always just choose to have a postcard! ;) xx

Thank you to all the amazing people who have donated towards my campaign so far! I can't believe some of the fabulous support that people have given me up to this point. It makes me even more thankful to be a part of this great sporting community.

Having given so much to the sport over the years, it's been heartening to see people want to show their appreciation by helping me achieve this goal, which, given the current climate and increasing demands of our sport, is so hard to keep up.

I have a lot of thank you pictures and tasks to fulfil when I'm out there, but it's going to be worth it to thank everyone who has become a part of my journey.

But there's going to be more to thank, I'm sure. As I'm still on the campaign trail and inching ever closer to my goal. So thank you once again, to everyone who has shared, liked or commented on any of my fundraiser posts. It all helps raise awareness and bring more attention to my page.

Had some amazing donations over the last few days, that has greatly increased my progress. Thank you again to everyone who has donated so far!

It seems I'm going to be stopping several strangers along my journey, to complete my selfie reward promise. But that's the least I can do and I hope it makes a few people smile in return ;)

Whilst it still a few months away, I'm going to be working as hard as I can to reach my goal in time to confirm all my plans for the World Cup, so I can't rest on my laurels just yet. I'll be looking for more ways to raise funds if I can. But in the meantime, I am forever grateful to everyone who is willing to help me ;) x

Thank you to all my early donators for getting me started on my campaign. You are beautiful people and I am so happy to know you.

I'm currently at 11% of my target and there's still a long way to go. So I'm still hoping I can gather some more support along the way, as I need all the help I can get to achieve this dream.

So please do spread the word about my fundraiser, even if you're not able to contribute directly, as it all helps me get that bit closer to my aim. And don't forget that I'm offering some AMAZING rewards too, to say thank you :) xx
